rusty comes home

I am so happy that Rusty comes home today! I so just want to put my arms around him and hold him. We have spent enough time a part and now I hate it when he is gone.

However before I can leave to go get him there is a lot to do. I told the children that today is cleaning day. We have really let the house go, so I need to get it put back in order.

I need to go by walgreens and pick up some pictures. I figure if I get to the air port early I will have some time to get the pictures put into an album for my mom. That is her Christmas gift.

I am just about ready for Christmas. I need to pick up a few items for dinner, but other then that I am just about done. I do need to go to petsmart and get the puppies some new collars. I get them new collars every year for Christmas.

I was asked if I ever sang as a child. The answer to that would be yes. I went to a private school for about 4 years. So every year they would have a Christmas program and all of the student were in the program. I hated it. I was the fat child, the one who did not go to that church, and the out cast. Yet every year I was forced by my parents to be in the program. I swore back then that if I ever had children that I would not make them do "programs" unless they wanted to. I have kept that promise.

I have been trying to think of something fun and different to do while my mom is here. My mom has always wanted to go to Coronado, but a few things have stopped her. The biggest thing is that she is scared of water, the next thing she is she is scared of driving over water. Hello, Coronado is an island! I just looked at their web page and it seems like the island is decorated and there will be plenty to see and do. I guess I will just give my mom a paper bag and tell her to close her eyes?

I am off to start cleaning. That is so not fun, but we need to get it done.
